    Science is a systematic process of building knowledge through testable explanations and predictions about the universe. It is typically divided into natural sciences, which study the physical world, social sciences, which study people and societies, and formal sciences like mathematics. During the Middle Ages, foundations for the scientific method were established, and from antiquity through the 19th century, science was more closely linked to philosophy. In the 17th-18th centuries, scientists sought to formulate knowledge in terms of natural laws, and by the 19th century, science was associated with the scientific method of studying nature, as disciplines like biology and physics took their modern form.

    Science[nb 1] is a systematic enterprise that creates, builds and organizes knowledge in the

    form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe.[nb 2][2]:58


    Contemporary science is typically subdivided into the natural sciences which study the
    material world, the social sciences which study people and societies, and the formal sciences
    like mathematics. The formal sciences are often excluded as they do not depend on empirical
    observations.[3] Disciplines which use science like engineering and medicine may also be
    considered to be applied sciences.[4]
    During the middle ages in the Middle East, foundations for the scientific method were laid by
    Alhazen in his Book of Optics.[5][6][7] From classical antiquity through the 19th century,
    science as a type of knowledge was more closely linked to philosophy than it is now and, in
    fact, in the Western world, the term "natural philosophy" encompassed fields of study that are
    today associated with science, such as astronomy, medicine, and physics.[8]:3[nb 3]
    In the 17th and 18th centuries scientists increasingly sought to formulate knowledge in terms
    of laws of nature. Over the course of the 19th century, the word "science" became
    increasingly associated with the scientific method itself, as a disciplined way to study the
    natural world. It was in the 19th century that scientific disciplines such as biology, chemistry,
    and physics reached their modern shapes. The same time period also included the origin of
    the terms "scientist" and "scientific community," the founding of scientific institutions, and
    increasing significance of the interactions with society and other aspects of culture.[9][10]
